we've dropped bombs on half of the countries in the world! why do they hate our freedom! maybe if we bomb some more villages they'll learn to love our freedom!

oh there's a busy crowded market let's drop some mortar shells on it, yeah some kids died but that's their own fault for hanging around a battlefield booya. now their fathers and older brothers are taking up arms against the united states? wow they must REALLY hate Freedom.

I can't figure this out. we dropped a bomb on every village we suspected having a jihadi in it, but all that happened is more people turned up radicalized and hating America.

i just can't figure out why these people hate us, it must be their religion!

Being a sarcastic asshole that you are, while you jest you hit the nail on the head.

That might hold true if there were no attacks from the middle east, but the history is littered with it. That's why I smirk at people who honestly believe that concept (although somewhat flawed from the start) of democracy can somehow work there.

In terms of their religion, I don't know why you would dismiss that outright. When Muhammad died, violence inside the religion started breaking out almost immediately (leading to the Sunni and Shi'ite factions). The foundation of the Middle East countries afterwards was through conquests. Many Muslim empires came about until around the 20th Century.
